In Utah County the cheapest “House” for sale is 600 square feet, 2 bed, 1 bath, at $300k.

So at current interest rate it would be $1,800 a month mortgage(assuming you put the 60k down payment! A decent amount more if you do 3% down.)

The cheapest condo/town in utah valley is 205k, 1,100 square feet, on a 400 square foot lot. But due to a $500 HOA fee the monthly cost is still 1,700 a month (assuming 20% down).

With 3.5% down they’d both be closer to 2.1k +PIMI.

So yeah, how is where you live doing?

    For a “cheap “ suburb of Boston

    • $580k for 1,038 sq ft 2 br on a 5,000 sq ft lot. The homes on this area were originally built as summer cottages so they’re going to be expensive to heat. Of 12 single family homes for sale, 7 are over $1M and one is in a different town
    • $265k for a 1 br condo, 579 sq ft. The only feature listed is “private entrance”. Second cheapest is a new townhouse for $1.5M

    My house is a small two story granny cottage with a total floor area of 90sqm (1000sqf) though the upstairs have a low ceiling so the “true” floor are is closer to 60sqm (650sqm). The plot is 1000sqm (10500sqf) and has an additional building with a sauna and a small workshop space. It’s located about 10km (6 miles) from the city centre on a residential neighbourhood in Finland. It’s one of the major cities in the country. I paid about 105k€ for it which means 450€/month

    There are houses in my town that have sold in the last 12 months for less than $100,000.
    These don’t include the shacks that are falling apart that sell for $30,000.

    This one was bought, fixed up, and is currently listed for $132,000.

    $70k USD - 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1400sq ft., 0.3 acre lot, two stories and a detached garage. The interior needs plenty of non-cosmetic work (e.g. - new flooring)

    $75k USD - 2 bed, 1 bath, 800sq ft., 0.15 acre lot; newly redone floors, electric and paint.

    After that, there’s about 10 more in the 125-150K range.

    I don’t really understand the question. We have a few “houses” you can buy that would need a lot of work (to be livable for most people), that are also probably in high-crime areas (because of the price), that are available cheap.

    You can buy a 1/1 in Montgomery, Alabama, downtown, on a 3,000 sq.ft. lot, for $4,000.00 total. 4k, that’s it. You can buy a 4/2 for $9,000.00. 9k, that’s all. And there’s more than one available. Come on down!

    315k GBP for a 2br ‘period property’ (aka a disgusting dilapidated horder house with the energy efficiency of a tent)

    Figure in another 100k and a year to fix it, due to how UK contractors work.

    $80k cad - 3 bedroom and 1 bath. Probably needs a good cleaning and upgrade. Bus stop close by. Not so good area but it’s ok.

    Here in Victoria BC the cheapest detached house is just shy of $1m cad. What a shithole
